 The article summarizes the results of the study of the ability of some species and varieties of the genus Hemerocallis L. to vegetative reproduction, introduced into the South Ural Botanical Garden-Institute, a separate structural division of the Federal State Budgetary Scientifi c Institution of the Ufa Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as a valuable economic trait of plants when used in landscaping. The objects of the study were 6 species and 43 varieties of the genus Hemerocallis L.

The morphological variability in populations of Chondrilla was subject to the numerical analysis using the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA). The study showed that out of the seven species of the genus found in European Russia, it is only C. ambigua that has the status of undoubted species. A distinct difference is observed between the two groups of populations: the first group comprising C. juncea, C. latifolia, C. brevirostris, and the mixed population of C. juncea/graminea; and the second group comprising the populations of C. graminea and C.
